Quotes
-
Lt. Gordon Malloy : Was it a circus clown or a hobo clown or what?
Lt. Alara Kitan : What's the difference?
Lt. John LaMarr : Hobo clowns are the most dangerous because they're hungry.

Isaac : You asked to be subjected to a variety of frightening situations, so I designed a program based on inquiries conducted with the crew, in order to select a number of baseline phobias with which to populate the program.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : The simulation began in the corridor, right before you saw the clown.
Lt. Alara Kitan : But how did you...
[realizing]
Lt. Alara Kitan : A memory wipe.
Dr. Claire Finn : If you knew you were in a simulation, the fear wouldn't be real. So you needed a short-term memory wipe to erase any knowledge of the request. It's a risky procedure, but you told me it was essential for the protection of classified security material. I ought to write you up for lying to a medical officer.
Lt. Alara Kitan : Wait, so who's afraid of clowns?
Lt. John LaMarr : That's me.
Lt. Alara Kitan : You really are afraid of clowns?
Lt. John LaMarr : Yes. Please stop saying the "C" word.

Capt. Ed Mercer : Alara, you invoked directive 38 to prevent us from shutting down the program when it got too hot in there. I ought to court-martial you on this very spot for the position you put us in. We were really worrried about you.
Lt. Alara Kitan : Captain, I am so sorry. I mean, I don't... I don't remember it, but still, I'm sorry.
Capt. Ed Mercer : I'm letting it slide because no one got hurt. And also because you owned every crisis Isaac threw at you.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Every insane situation you were up against, you handled like a first-rate officer.
Capt. Ed Mercer : There should be no doubt in your mind that you are capable of doing your job.

Lt. Alara Kitan : Captain, I would like to submit my official resignation.
Capt. Ed Mercer : What?
Lt. Alara Kitan : I am neither fit nor qualified to be chief of security aboard the Orville or any other starship.
Capt. Ed Mercer : Look, I understand you're feeling guilty about the whole...
Lt. Alara Kitan : Lieutenant Payne died because I was too afraid to do my job.
Capt. Ed Mercer : No, he died because in a crisis situation, things happen that you can't control. Payne knew the risks of this uniform, just like the rest of us.
Lt. Alara Kitan : Captain, I could've moved that bulkhead with one arm. But I didn't. Because I was scared. Harrison is dead because I was scared.
Capt. Ed Mercer : People seem to think that being brave means not being afraid. The way I see it, if you're not afraid, there's nothing to be brave about.
Lt. Alara Kitan : Tell that to Harrison's parents.

Lt. Alara Kitan : Can we just have one conversation where you don't attack my choice to join the Fleet? Please?
Ildis Kitan : We just want what's best for you, and we feel the military is beneath you. It's what any parent would say to their child.
Lt. Alara Kitan : Any parent on Xelayah. You do realize that there are planets where a military career is a very honorable thing. The humans view it with great respect.
Ildis Kitan : [dismissively] Well, yes, the humans. The hillbillies of the galaxy.
